Hi Chris, I’ve enjoyed what I’ve read on your site. You have a fresh and straight-forward narrative style and interesting stories. I appreciated your views on military service in the Austin American-Statesman, and found them helpful in adding another viewpoint to an essay I was working on about contemporary American war stories. Part one of the piece went up recently; part two picks up again with a portion of your argument (and likely comes out in June).

Just read it and commented. Thank you for that article. It was not just well-written and informative, but it was also balanced. It showed we don’t all feel the same about our experience, and aren’t a monolithic block of people who write the exact same stories about the exact same circumstances.

Hi Chris. I just saw your piece on the Ferguson, MO debacle. You are 100 percent correct on your writing and observations, I am the Mother of a police lieutenant in the city of St. Louis, and very much want him to read this. He is not on Facebook, so I am going to try to email this to him. He sent me a pic last night of a sort of a feeling of good will trying to emerge between the police and city residents. BTW, he and his brother and Dad and Grandpa are all Marines. I did not say ex-Marines, because there is no such thing.
